Dental dollars: Kingston council to invest $10,000 to help treat OW recipients

from Kingston Heritage

Some low income adults may be entitled to free dental care through a new program that will be funded, in part, by the City of Kingston.
Councillors voted unanimously to chip in $10,000 toward the Dental Week Project in 2016. The community-based initiative aims to raise money to 'buy' a dental practice for one week to provide a chair, staff and supplies to offer free treatment to those who don’t have dental benefits.
"There's a real need for improved service for people on low income. They can't afford to access the care and they don’t have the benefits," said Coun. Mary Rita Holland. more
